Hello All,
I am curious to hear what your take on using a source of background noise when you attempt EVP captures.
I myself have experienced that I get more results using a background source. I am using a few Olympus DS digital recorders and I find that there is very little to no internal mechanism noise present from these tools. I have recorded a 20 minute live session of a flock of Sparrows chirping noisely in nearby shrubs,along with a light wind, my local spirits seem to like that energy or frequency. I have sent this audio file to a EVP researcher who lives in the Arrid part of the USA where these birds are not native to and he says his contacts do not care for it. Your opinions are most welcomed. Also with these recorders I find that I have more success when the mid selection of the microphone sensitivity is selected. The recording mode I use varies between ST/XQ and ST/HQ.
Best Regards, Dan

Hi,
Yes I believe that the better quality the recorder the greater the need for background noise as the better newer digtal recorders create very little sound if any. The bird sounds sound most interesting. I would love to hear any EVP you get using this

I like the EVP gotten with the newer quiet recorders (like the DS-30 Olympus and no background noise at all the best! Vicki

my experience is the same as whisper....perhaps it depends partly upon the energy present with the experimenter - some people require more background noise than others...

I find that when recording using my laptop the fan produces enough noise and I dont need to use anything else.

This is often what is knows as "Transformative EVP" - an intelligence is wrangling energy from sound itself into it's missive. Using older tape systems with an external mic seemed to make the voices jump out when a mild source of white noise was nearby. Like a 20" box fan on low on the other side of the room, facing the wall so to not buffet the mic with wind noise. Electronic pink noise portable devices work wonders too, when they are *barely* an audible whisper to your own ears from the position of the mic.
Experiment!

agreed. energy is energy, and spirit will try to use it no matter what it is. It could be the sound of a fart (bad example), or an opera. If they can squeeze a few words in there, they will

I personally do well with water being swished in a sink or very slowly entering from a faucet. Rain covered roads seems to work also with passing cars.......as stated energy is energy..........

Been tinkering with EVPmaker from a 30 second loop of "white noise" generated from a window air conditioner approximately 2 meters away. The responses are curious sounding whispers but they're there! I have yet to capture anything "strong", definitive even - but there are so many things to attempt it with. (A tiny bit of an audio nut helps) Though I seem to be experiencing a touch of the doldrums at the moment. I suspect my fractured mood since my father's passing is part of it. :(

Though it's not optimum, I'm of the opinion you can record in almost any "noise-scape" and pick-up great EVP- the only condition really necessary is Spirit wanting to communicate. Spirit seems to employ particular ways of 'speaking' to be heard -hard to miss (they might sound 'sleepy' or like one of the 'Chipmunks' etc.)
**Love Keith's admission he records fart messages (my luck that'd be the one that goes viral!!) :-)
I've experienced the bird chirping scenario as well- excellent. Easily discernible- (Dog barking too)
Yes, everybody'd like to record in a lab under controlled and repeatable conditions...but sometimes it's just really interesting to hear Spirit's observations under random conditions.
Cheers! Kenda

I've captured extraordinarily clear EVPs with nothing more than the inherent hiss of my Olympus LN2100 on HQ, possibly the best are when our voices are morphed into non nonsensical language - it doesn't happen often but when it does it is astonishing. Using white noise is fine but it does introduce the potential of interpreting a transmission as an EVP, unless it's modulated white noise of course...
Has anyone else had experience of clear voices without additionally introduced carrier waves?
I have received EVPs suggesting that sound waves [non specific] are "changed" to express the message of the sender. Fascinating stuff.

Yes, definitely. Had both living individuals out of body and Spirit speak loudly on recording without introducing a carrier wave. When the energy is just right (and they're determined to 'get through') they don't seem to have a problem.

Very interested to hear you have had the living too. I recorded the voice and name of someone I thought was dead but was in fact alive, when I questioned how it was done I received a reply stating that he was asleep. Just proves what the mind may be able to do...

Hello R.E.V & All,
I feel that every night when we sleep and dream, we take a visit to the otherside or afterlife even though we remember it as a dream upon awakening.
Why not get an evp recording from a sleeping "person" or even yourself as you sleep ? .
Thoughts are things and consciouness continuing after death is just that, a dream, thought or memory.
How far does the rabbit hole go ?
Best Regards,
Dan

Interesting Dan-
After my grandmother crossed, her comment on recording, "Nothing is familiar here-"
Philosophically speaking, she'd expect the conventional "Heaven experience." -She didn't elaborate.

Hello DK,
I feel that a person creates what their vision of the afterlife is going to be for themselves when they are still on this side of the veil. The thought becomes a thing, which is a memory. If they expect nothing to be there when they pass over, there is a good chance that is exactly what will be waiting for them.
Best regards,
D

I suppose if one exists as pure consciousness, functioning beyond the temporal, every thought could be experienced/understood as an artifact or memory...I recall hearing Spirit refer to a future event (our perspective) as a "terrible memory." -begs for more time "on the vipassana cushion" ...couldn't hurt. -K

DK,
The phrases that come to mind are the recycling room, welcoming dimension , sit until you awake space or just plain old purgatory. No it does not matter what the first step for some is called when they step into the hereafter.
Case in point, I just made intial contact with a close friend who passed over a little over a year ago. This person spent his entire life aware of things that go boo in the night. He and I would discuss in great detail the steps of his crossing over and what to expect when there. We both spoke of the coaching that a friend or family member should assist in at the moment just before passing and the continuation of the same even after he was cliniclly dead by gentle whispers to walk them through the scary moments of the transition. His background had a slight Buddhist slant to it all.
I honestly feel that it took him "time" in getting used to where he woke up. Waking up dead might take a bit of adjustment to the new process for some, and for others that time might never happen due to their beliefs or because of the type of life they chose when living.
Death is the easy part, waking up dead and accepting it for what it is , that's the shocker and some take longer to adjust than others and again some never will.
Regards, Dan

D,
Yeah, the process after "waking up" is the clincher apparently...The Bardo Thodol, Tibetan Book of the Dead, is pretty overwhelming reading -don't know if you're familiar with the narrative written by Jean-Claude van Itallie? "Tibetan Book of the Dead for Reading Aloud" Descriptive and direct -he wrote it as a performance piece. Also the Dalai Lama's manuscript about the dying experience, "Mind of Clear Light" -each and every physical and mental sensation discussed in detail...
Have heard Spirit refer to death as "birth" (360 degree senses? -weightlessness) -reflects the disruptive/disorienting effect of the human birth experience(??)
Unexpectedly it was a cup of peppermint tea that encouraged my grandmother to communicate (Peppermint discs being her favorite confection) -Hence her enthusiastic response, "My favorite candy!" Quite a gift, the first recognizable voice I'd heard. I guess food aroma is another 'cue' similar to the period music you play during recording sessions.
Is your friend at ease?
